This Habano with a gauge of 40 and a length of only 102 mm is one of the smallest Montecrito cigars and one with an excelent ring. It has all the qualities of the brand and is a real appetizer, just like a dry Martini.

The Montecristo cigars form the most famous of the many exquisite Cuban cigar brands. Montecristo started only in 1935 as a new brand from Menendez, Garcia y Cia., back then the owners of the H. Upmann cigar brand. The name of these Montecristo cigars is reported to have been inspired by Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel Le Comte de Montecristo. With a strong marketing effort from Alfred Dunhill of London, the Montecristo cigar brand became the most popular of all Havana export cigars. There are no machine-made shapes in this cigar range and the strength is medium; in fact, it has become the standard by which all other Habanos are now judged.
